The ISMTE Early Career Committee is excited to announce our theme for the new year, “2022: Taking Care of You.”

In the midst of an ongoing pandemic (no further explanation needed), we are still facing new challenges, battling burnout, and feeling disconnected while simultaneously glued to our emails and virtual meetings. How do we cope? The Early Career Committee is interested in diving into these questions, and other discussions around mental health, as we focus on professional development for professionals in the first five years of their scholarly publishing careers. Please join us for our first virtual meet-up of the year on Wednesday, February 16th, 2022, at 7 pm EST. BYOB for a casual happy-hour discussion around the question, “What is the cure for burnout?” Search for your perfect Zoom background to show how you fight burnout (did someone say puppies?!) and join us as we discuss, de-stress, and decompress.

We can’t wait to see you there!
